*The pantry is now following a ‘Grab-n-Go’ distribution system. Please follow directions from the CERT team.

 

HOW IT WORKS:
-At arrival, each guest receives instructions from the CERT Team on where to park and when to get out of their car.
-When each guests is instructed, they may then approach the tables. ONE GUEST AT A TIME.
-Each pantry guest will be directed to grab 2 bags, one from EACH table and a block of cheese. Please note each guest is getting all the same items.
-NO guests will be entering the pantry.
PLEASE BE SURE TO KEEP AT LEAST 6 FEET OF DISTANCE FROM ALL CERT TEAM MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS.
We appreciate your understanding at this time. We have found this model to have the best social distancing. Hopefully soon we will go back to the old pantry format.
